PROBLEM SOLVED!
Pet care experience
I have owned and worked with many different breeds of dogs. I have 7+ years experience stemming from working at animal shelters and dog walking services. I have good insight to predict dog behaviors, and I have worked with special needs dogs including medication management, physical challenges and behavioral issues. I have cared for many animals at one time, as many as 4 dogs at once or a combination of birds, dogs and cats. I have my own dog, Molly, who's a 4 1/2 year Old English Sheep dog and a perpetual puppy and friendly. I require a meet and greet on neutral territory, prior to any board or day care stay at my home with your dog and mine. When staying at my home dogs are allowed to sleep in my bed and relax on the furniture. My home is their home while your away. Safety is a top prior in my home and I only take housebroken dogs into my place. I cater towards the lower Westchester/Scarsdale area but will travel. My place is puppy proofed, which I learned from owning my own dogs. Garbage pales are tucked away into cabinets, etc. When taking new dogs into my home or visa versa. I like to know your dogs quirks and fears so I can be prepared ahead of the situation should one arise. I'm always scanning 100 feet ahead on walks. No worries and nothing but a doggy fabulous time here!
Reviews
Valerie is great with our dog! We use her as our regular walker and she is very dependable.
Valerie babysat my dog during for three days -- and she made my beloved companion feel right at home! I received regular photos and updates. She snuggled with my dog -- and made her feel loved, cared for -- and I felt peace of mind knowing that my best four-legged friend was safe and happy.
My dog had a great time with Valerie
We have used Valerie to watch Rosie several times, including a stay at our own home. She took great care of her, and we would highly recommend Valerie!

Safety, trust & environment
I ask for your dog's feeding and walking schedule and try to stick with it. I also ask for any quirks your dog may have such as lunging at Amazon trucks or hating dust busters. This way I can avoid unwanted situations.
Home
Information Valerie E. would like to know about your pet
I want to know their quirks, if they don't get along with other dogs, cats, if they are fixed. Things your dog likes to get into in your home like paper towels or shoes. Any behavioral issues, emergency contacts and vet information. Also, things they should not eat. wrong.
A typical day
My activities are based on you and your dogs preferences. I have taken dogs to the beach, dog parks, walking around town hiking trails in my area. I have clients that prefer their dogs don't go anywhere and I abide by their wishes.

Pet care is a full time job! I'm home most of the day and if I run out for a brief period, I make sure my dog and your dog are crated to avoid any unnecessary incidents.
